wheels....

where you guys get your wheels in canada? i've always bought used, but got my eye on a set or work wheels and not sure where i should source them.

I've never bought new but know people who have ordered from 1010tires. Personally I would go with ebay because you always find the best deals there. Just make sure your buying LEGIT wheels on ebay, theres lots of fakes.

I've got decent pricing on some brands, always looking for better deals though. If anyone finds anything let me know, I'll look at setting up an account.

Bought my first set of works through A spec, second set through CityTireOnline.com , just shipped to a border town and picked them up. No complaints and best pricing I could find.

Did you know somebody in that town, there is a set of wheels I want but they only ship USA.

No just made secret arrangments.

LOL.

I think one of our drivers at work has a PO Box in Plentywood, so I might be ok. Not sure I can fit a 15x9 on the back of a MKII VW though. So might have to ponder/research it more anyways.

There is a convenience store south of the boarder on #6 highway who lets Canadian's ship stuff there and depending on the size he will charge an additional $5 a box for sending ti there . My boss at work does it all the time.

my buddy Cody has 16x9's porsche wheels on the back of his mkii golf with adapters. It is possible.

I know Cody! If you see him ask him if he still has that 16v lip spoiler and tell him Joe would like to buy it!

But Porsche wheels are very high offset, (Like 45 or 50) so it's easy to get adapters under them and still not rub. I'm looking at a staggered 15x9 ET-0/15x8 ET-0. I wouldn't be opposed to running a 195/45-15. But nothing smaller, some VW guys run like 165/50-15's. That's way too tiny! I know they will fit if I go higher, but I don't wanrt to go higher. I want to fit them at my ride height. My car does however have those black plastic arches like so many old VW's had, and I'm not against removing most of the fender undeneath that arch....so who knows?

Not even that much stretch really.

Yeah. I thought about the offset after I made the post. I usually chat with him every couple of weeks or so I will tell him you want the lip. Last summer he was trying to get me to get Jhall to buy it off of him.

very nice find.

A buddy of mine back in Calgary bought wheels through them.

They are pretty easy to work with, and they are actually located in BC,. They went through the whole thing of telling the wheels were special order and they would take longer, yadda yadda. I think most of the Work stuff will be a longer wait, because it's all pretty much built to spec. But like off the shelf stuff like SSR, XXR, even Buddyclub shouldn't be that long of a wait.

Prices are really fair too.

seibon CF lips for the same price I can find them any where else, same with F&F coilovers plus a lot of other stuff I cant remember right now.



mmmmm, cant forget these.

i wouldnt go as far as to say SSR is "off the shelf", in fact SSR and Work wheels are pretty comparable in every aspect. SSR, like work, has all the custom offsets you could ever want, where as buddyclub and xxr dont.
